List Price: $22.00 Price: $12.34 You Save: $9.66 (44%) "Outstanding, Must Read for Novice & Veteran Managers alike!" - By S. Weisman (Poughkeepsie, NY)

It offers practical strategies with the real life anecdotal stories we've all experienced in the corporate or even small business world at one time or another, to back them up. Whether you are a new manager trying to figure out how to best influence those above and below you, or a veteran looking to get the best results for your company while still having to play the political games, you will take something valuable away from this book.
